OH how the mighty have fallen....

I arrived at work this morning full of excitement knowing how well yesterday went. It was this sense of hope and pride and all happy feelings. And somehow in the first 2 hours of school that got shut completely down. I mean, shit hit the fan quickly and by the time the clock hit 2:30... I was ready for a break. I don't really want to go into details because at this point I have rehashed it and re-debriefed it in my head 100 times and really what I can (eventually take away from it) is that there are days like this. Sometimes there will be days when you get knocked down time after time after time but like any good teacher you must get back up. What I'm realizing that I will need to survive no matter what gets thrown at me... My ability to keep fighting will be my strongest tool in my shed. It won't be easy. Today definitely wasn't easy and I have no idea how on earth I would ever handle that alone but I will have to. Who knows what it will be like when I'm suddenly alone in a classroom but only time will tell.
